This looks a little ugly. I tried changing it to "%" and "ID," but then that affected their names in the book details window.

Before I go about making extra composite columns, is there another way around this?

If I understand the question correctly, then no, there is no way to have different column names for different purposes/display in different places.

I got around this by creating two composite columns, #percentreadview and #calibreidview with the full labels for the book details.

The original columns with the short labels appear in column view.

It feels kludgey but it works.
